Best Doom merch ahead of The Dark Ages

With a certain medieval-themed sequel on its way this year, finding the best Doom merch is abruptly top of mind. And thanks to said follow-up, there's plenty of rad-as-hell gear hitting shelves.

Did you know that there was a whole damn replica helmet on its way that you can actually wear, for example? Because there is, and I want it. Indeed, it's hands down some of the best Doom merch I've seen - but it isn't alone. You can grab everything from stained glass ingots to your garden-variety branded mugs, so there's no shortage of choice (which is good news if you're hunting down gifts for gamers).

Want something a little more left-field? Be sure to check out t-shirt extraordinaire Redbubble or the hand-crafted gear on Etsy. They're always a good shout if you want tees, stickers, or figures you can 3D-print at home.

Doom: The Dark Ages Mug | $44.99 at Merchoid
You can usually rely on branded mugs to coincide with a major release, and The Dark Ages has got one. Sure, it may seem pedestrian to feature a mug under the best Doom The Dark Ages merch. But hey - sometimes you want something practical. Not feeling the darker colorway? You can get a lighter version for $25 from the Bethesda store.

Buy it if:
✅ You want something practical
✅ You think drinking coffee is metal
✅ You prefer your merch simple

Don't buy it if:
❌ You want something more jazzy
❌ You're saving for more interesting merch

Price check:
💲 eBay | $59.99

Doom: The Dark Ages Wearable Helmet | $175 at Bethesda
This may just be the coolest bloody thing I've seen today. I mean, a wearable The Dark Ages helmet? Hell. Yeah. I've not been able to find it anywhere else though, so you'll need to use Bethesda's own store to grab your own version.

Buy it if:
✅ You want the coolest Doom merch
✅ You'd totally dress up as the Slayer for Halloween
✅ You want a kick-ass collectible

Don't buy it if:
❌ You can make your own with a 3D printer
❌ You hate cool stuff

Price check:
💲 N/A (not available elsewhere)

I've been writing about games in one form or another since 2012, but these days you'll find me managing GamesRadar+'s tabletop gaming and toy coverage (I spend my time here handling everything from board game reviews to the latest Lego news). I've also been obsessed with Warhammer since the 1990s, and love nothing more than running tabletop RPGs like D&D as a Dungeon Master.
